Ratings and reviews

used to use this app all the time for all train bookings but for some reason when booking open return tickets they now only show day return options, not month return options (to see these you have to go return and pick a specific return train. I understand you aren't obligated to take this train, and it still functions as an open return, but it's annoying to have to pick one when before you could just pick from all return types and compare prices)

1. Quick booking advertised on your site and app when dashing for the next train doesn't work (often suggests tomorrow and fails to save search params) 2. will let you get all the way to booking the payment and then say 'something went wrong' if trying to book a ticket for something within next 15mins 3. Sometimes gives tomorrow's date as default meaning you buy the wrong ticket. Needs: buy a ticket for right now option with quick pay. Essential.

I used to be able to add my journeys to my calendar from the booking details, while the success message is showing, I'm not getting the option to actually add it to my Google Calendar. I used to be able to do this, but it must have regressed.
